Title: Efficiency of charged-particle acceleration by shocks in supernova remnants and in solar flares

OSTI ID:6249417

Cosmic-ray acceleration by shocks in supernova envelopes can explain certain properties of the radio emission of old SNRs. The pressure of the accelerated particles should contribute little to the envelope dynamics. An estimate is obtained for the level of turbulence required for this acceleration mechanism to operate in solar flares.
